Pros

- Its fully remote so you are no longer stuck in big cities away from family - Endless opportunities to learn through various channels; pairing is my fav

Cons

- Uncommon tech stack (Rails & Ruby) slows down new devs a bit as there is a big learning curve; ps ruby is magical on its own

Pros

- Kind and talented co-workers - Generous AI token spend - Fairly transparent company (has been getting less transparent over the years) - Lots of opportunity for impact

Cons

- Product management discipline is quite lacking since the new CTO joined - Microsoft culture is adding more chaos and stress, and causing projects to actually go slower - Managers are afraid to tell the truth to Mikhail about the loopholes in engineering; they just want to look good, so they rush their teams to ship crap - Top engineering leaders are moving out of management roles or leaving the company - Tobi used to be far more involved in ensuring a high engineering bar, but seems to have handed over the reins to the new Microsoft regime
